The piercing and tattoo shops are finally open again. Time to get that nipple piercing you’ve been thinking about for a while. It’s useful to know what you’re getting into. Did you know, for example, that a nipple piercing can make your sex life spicier? Or that it can take more than a year to heal? Read this information before you have a piece of jewelry put through your nipple.
1.Consultation
In fact, almost everyone is eligible for a nipple piercing. Sometimes getting a piercing is more difficult for your type of nipple. But, even with very small nipples or inverted nipples, you can often get a nipple piercing. You will always receive a consultation in advance, during which the piercer will carefully consider whether and how you can best have the piercing done.
2. Cost of a nipple piercing
Quanta costa? The costs are on average 50 euros per nipple. That includes standard piercing. If you want jewelry made of special material, such as gold, it will of course cost more.
3. Pain from nipple piercing?
Many people say that the pain was not too bad, but you will definitely feel pain. Your nipples are a sensitive part of your body and a needle through your nipple is no small feat. Fortunately, the biggest pain is gone after a few seconds.
4. Sexual benefits
Very nice to know: a nipple piercing can have a positive effect on your sex life. If your nipples are not naturally sensitive, a nipple piercing can change that. You might suddenly find it fantastic when your partner licks or fiddles with your nipples. This also gives you a greater chance of having a nipple orgasm.
5. Healing process of your nipple
Wait a little longer before stroking your nipples. After getting the piercing, you are not allowed to touch your nips for two weeks. Licking is also not allowed. You should also avoid swimming pools and saunas for two weeks.
Your nipple will not fully heal until about 9-16 months. So until then, you must continue to disinfect your nipple and take extra good care of the piercing. So keep this in mind before getting a nipple piercing!
6. Intimate piercing
Yep, your entire boobie has to come out of your bra if you get your nipple pierced. A nipple piercing is a very intimate procedure. So make sure you have a piercer that you trust and with whom you feel comfortable. You can also indicate that you prefer a female (or male) piercer.
7. Choice stress
How do you want your nipple piercing? You can choose vertical, horizontal and even diagonal. Horizontal is the most popular. You can even have multiple holes pierced through your nipple.
Then you still have a choice: what kind of jewelry? You can choose from all kinds of shapes and sizes. Such as a ring, a bar or a half circle with two balls at the ends.
8. Breastfeeding and nipple piercings
Finally: if you have a nipple piercing, you can still breastfeed. It is useful that you remove your piercing, as your child could choke on it. It is also not recommended to get a nipple piercing during your pregnancy or breastfeeding period. Because your breasts then grow and change, the chance of inflammation is much greater. And of course your nipples are much more sensitive, so piercing them hurts much more.
